MOSCOW, December 27 – RAPSI. Confessed mass killer Dmitry Vinogradov, the 30-year-old lawyer who shot six people dead in November, may be charged with inciting terrorism, the Prosecutor General’s Office reported on Thursday.
Vinogradov, who is widely referred to as the “Russian Breyvik,” opened fire using two semi-automatic shotguns on his colleagues while they were sitting at their desks allegedly after a five-day drinking binge. Five died in the attack, and the sixth died in the hospital.
Before the shooting, Vinogradov posted a manifesto on his social networking page, detailing his disgust with society. In the text, he discussed the parallels between humanity and cancer, noting that both destroy everything in their path.
Vinogradov believes that throughout the course of its existence, mankind has defied the laws of nature in its relentless quest for eternal life. In particular, this has been a slap in the face to natural selection. Thus not only have we lost sight of genetic weakness, we have encouraged its perpetuation under the guises of “humanity” and “tolerance.” In conclusion, he declares, ““I hate human society, I oppose being a part of it! I hate the senselessness of human life! I hate this very life! I see only one way to justify it: destroy as many particles of this human compost as possible….”
A psychological and linguistic examination of the text was held and pursuant to the results, the text contains appeals for the mass termination of humanity and attempts to justify such actions, the Prosecutor’s Office press release reads.
Earlier, Vinogradov was charged under several articles of the Criminal Code, including murder, which stipulates life imprisonment.
